Klausner sues Google, Verizon, and others for visual voicemail

Klausner Technologies, Inc., headed up by Judah Klausner, has filed suit against Google, Verizon, and a handful of other communications companies, claiming infringement on his visual voicemail patents. Klausner holds patents on a voicemail system capable of "applying a graphical way of interacting with voicemail messages that allow it to be used like email."

Verizon, who anticipated the lawsuit based on Klausner's previous cases, filed a lawsuit two weeks ago, seeking to have Klausner's patent declared invalid. [via: Reuters]
